In the Dome of the Rock is an inscription in Arabic that reads:
“God forbid that He should have a Son.” The Bible says:
“He that hath not the Son hath not the Father.”
“The Sword”, says Muhammad “is the key of heaven and hell; a drop of blood shed in the cause of Allah, a night spent in arms, is of more avail than two months of fasting and prayer; whoever falls in battle, his sins are forgiven, and at the day of judgment his limbs shall be supplied by the wings of angels and cherubim.” Philip Schaff, in writing on the history of the Christian church.
The God of the Bible and the god of Islam have totally different attitudes, totally different goals and a totally different morality, as servants of each show . . .
The Koran states: "O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers" (Sura 9:123). The God of the Bible says: "Love your enemies."
The Koran states: "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them and lie in wait [ambush] for them in every stratagem (of war)" (Sura 9:5). The God of the Bible says: "Bless them that curse you."
The Koran states: "Fight those who believe not in God [Allah] and his apostle [Muhammad], nor acknowledge the religion of truth [even if they are] of the people of the book [i.e. Jews and Christians], until they pay jizya [humiliating tax] with willing submission, and feel them-selves subdued [enslaved]" (Sura 9:29). The God of the Bible says: "Do good to them that hate you."
The Koran states: "Therefore when ye meet the unbelievers [in fight] smite at their necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly [on them]" (Sura 47:4). The God of the Bible says: "Pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." The God of the Bible goes on to say: "Be ye kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
Those Bible precepts are the exact opposite of what the Koran teaches therefore . . .
The God of the Bible and the god of Islam are not the same being! One teaches man to do good and the other teaches man to do evil. One teaches love and peace, the other commands war and hatred. One is the Creator of the Universe and the other isn’t. So which is the true God and which should we worship, the One who teaches man to do good or the other who teaches man to do evil?
The Koran states: "God forbid that he should have a son."
Jesus Himself said: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." "Not by works of righteousness that we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us."
Is Jesus the Son of God?
Moslems do believe Jesus was a prophet, but do not believe Jesus ever claimed to be God’s Son. To prove that Jesus is God’s Son we use Jesus’ own words.
Matthew 11:27-28 "All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Luke 10:22 "All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him." John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 9:36-38 "Jesus . . . said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him." John 14:8-9 "Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father." The prophet John also declared Jesus to be "the only begotten of the Father," so there are no other direct Sons of God, only Jesus.
Moslems believe Christians are polytheistic because we believe Jesus to be the Son of God, but Jesus said . . . "I and My Father are One." “One” is neuter in Greek: (gÅς hice), meaning of one essence. In other words, Jesus is saying that He and God the Father are one Being. There is only one God.
Ayatollah Khomeini taught a five point agenda: Stage 1: Iran must become a theocratic, fundamentalist Islamic State. Stage 2: Iraq must become a theocratic, fundamentalist Islamic State. Stage 3: Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Egypt, have to become fundamentalist, theocratic Islamic States. Stage 4: Jerusalem must be retaken and the Jewish people destroyed. Stage 5: Conquest of the nations. In 1984, Ayatollah Khomeini declared to the entire world: “In order to achieve the victory of Islam in the world, we need to provoke repeated crises, restored value to the idea of death and martyrdom. If Iran has to vanish, that is not important. The important thing is to engulf the world in crises.”
Important Dates in Islamic Conquest: 632AD – Islamic Jihadists conquered Yemen. 632AD – Invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) but the invading Islamic army was repelled by the orthodox church backed by the Portugese. This was a particularly disgraceful event, because just seventeen years earlier, Abyssinia had helped the persecuted Moslems. 633AD – All the desert tribes of Arabia were thoroughly subdued through military campaigns. 635AD – The attacking Islamic army conquered Damascus. 637AD – The Persians (Iranians) were defeated at the battle of Qadisiyya. 637AD – The fall of Iraq 638AD – Islamic fighters occupied Jerusalem. 639AD – All of Syria falls into Moslems hands.
The Declaration of Bishop Sophronius When Khalifah Omar entered Jerusalem in 639AD, he was met by Sophronius, Bishop of the Jerusalem Church, who showed him around the city. Seeing the temple mount (then in rubble), Omar declared that he was going to build a memorial to Muhammad on the original site of the temple of God. Sophronius exclaimed in horror, “Verily, this is the Abomination of Desolation as spoken of by Daniel the prophet, and it now stands in the holy place.” Though Sophronius was a very old man of about 80, Khalifah Omar put him in prison and to forced labor, the severities of which killed him. Jerry Landay, The Dome of the Rock (Newsweek, New York, NY, 1972) p. 18
The Dome of the Rock being the Abomination that maketh Desolate is not new theology! That knowledge has been in the Church for over 1300 years. Somehow we have forgotten the prophetic words for which Sophronius gave his life.
642AD – All of Egypt falls to Moslems after some resistance in Alexandria. The great Coptic church was destroyed, never to gain strength again. 670AD – Khalif Muawiya ordered an unsuccessful sea assault against Byzantium. 688AD – The fall of Carthage. 702AD – The Berber tribes of North Africa conquered. 705 - 708AD – Occupation of North Africa. 711-713AD – Moslems capture all of Spain and Portugal. The place the Islamic Commander pitched his headquarters still bears his name, Gibralter, in English, or Jebel Tariq (Arabic), meaning mountain of Tariq. 715-717AD – Arabian armies subdued Afghanistan, central Asia, northern limit of the Caspian sea, much of northern India. 718AD – Islamic forces attack France. 725AD – The invading Islamic armies besiege Toulouse, raid Burgundy and the Rhone valley. 732AD – The Islamic armies defeated by Charles Martel.
Battle of Tours CHRONICLE OF ST. DENIS: “The Moslems planned to go to Tours to destroy the Church of St. Martin, the city, and the whole country. Then came against them the glorious Prince Charles, at the head of his whole force. He drew up his host, and he fought as fiercely as the hungry wolf falls upon the stag. By the grace of Our Lord, he wrought a great slaughter upon the enemies of Christian faith, so that-–as history bears witness-–he slew in that battle 300,000 men, likewise their king by name Abderrahman. Then was he [Charles] first called ‘Martel,’ for as a hammer of iron, of steel, and of every other metal, even so he dashed: and smote in the battle all his enemies. And what was the greatest marvel of all, he only lost in that battle 1500 men.” FROM: William Stearns Davis, ed., Readings in Ancient History: Illustrative Extracts from the Sources, 2 Volumes. (Boston: Allyn and Bacon, 1912-13), Vol. II: Rome and the West, pp. 362-364
How Blessed Indeed Dan 12:11-12 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.”

There had been three branches to the Church, Roman, Greek and Coptic prior to the 1st Jihad. Islam enslaved the Coptic Church, the “one third of mankind killed” of Rev 8:8-12, 9:15. How Blessed that God through the Battle of Tours saved Christendom and destroyed the army that put an abomination “on the footstool of His feet.” © Copyright 2005, Ellis Skolfield
11th Century AD – Moslems penetrate Africa south of the Sahara. 12th - 14th Century AD – Moslems occupy northern India. 13th Century AD – Moslem states link Dakar (Senegal) to the Red Sea across the sub-Sahara prairies. 14th - 16th Century AD – Moslem fighters conquer Indonesia. 15th Century AD – Constantinople falls. That city (renamed Istanbul) was the eastern bastion of the whole of the Christian world. The great Christian church of Santa Sofia (built by Christian emperor Justinian) was turned into a mosque. 1683AD – Battle of Vienna. Decisive loss for the Moslems. Ends Islamic attempts to take Europe until this century.
Battle of Vienna The second decisive battle fought by the Christian West against Moslem forces took place at the gates of Vienna, September 12, 1683. Like the Battle of Tours before it, this battle saved Europe from falling to Islam. The city was besieged by a large Islamic force of about 275,000-300,000 Turks and Tartars, led by Grand Vizier Kara Mustafa. Christian forces were losing the battle until Jan Sobieski, King of Poland, entered the field with about 30,000 knights. Sobieski stated purpose for going to Vienna was "to proceed to the Holy War, and with God's help to give back the old freedom to besieged Vienna, and thereby help wavering Christendom." The Turks left 15,000 dead on the field. Christian losses are believed to have been no more than 3500 both dead and wounded.
If Christendom had not won against Islam at the Battle of Tours and the Battle of Vienna, YOU and your family would be speaking Arabic and marching round the Ka’aba Stone!
1948-1967 Islam begins its New Jihad! . . . this so-called “holy war” being waged right now.
For Christians this is not just a war of guns and bullets. This is a spiritual war, God against Satan, and we better get in the fight!
